Can You convert a pattern from straight needles to circular

[christine]

Okay, I'm ready to take the plunge and do my first sweater. I have been looking for a simple sweater (with a free pattern) formy daughter (size 10-12). Having just purchased the Boyle Needlemaster kit my husband would like to see me do a project with them. I haven't found much. Recommendations?

Can one convert a simple pattern for use on circular needles? I am liking this one, I think she would like it.
